Does the sponsor need to go to the NVC?

It is important to understand the steps of the immigration process for the CR1 visa. In general, the sponsor, who is the American citizen filing the petition, does not need to appear in person at the National Visa Center (NVC).

After the initial approval of the petition by USCIS, the case is forwarded to the NVC, where the forms and documents are reviewed, such as the Affidavit of Support (Form I-864) and proof of income and taxes. This step is done through the submission of documentation, either physical or digital, according to the instructions received.

Therefore, the sponsor is not required to appear personally at the NVC, since communication and the submission of information occur via correspondence and, in some cases, through online platforms. It is essential that all parties involved pay close attention to official guidelines and meet the deadlines set by the process.

It is always recommended to follow United States immigration laws and seek information directly from reliable sources, such as government websites, to avoid scams or marketing campaigns that promise miraculous results. If complex questions arise, it is best to consult specialized professionals or recognized consultancies, without expecting guarantees regarding the approval of the process.

Staying well informed and acting according to the established rules ensures greater security throughout the immigration process for the CR1 visa.
